Sinekatalog’s take

Rangel Vulchanov's early short feature from Bulgarian cinema of the early 1960s explores childhood and school with a light touch. Gentle and fresh, it is a small, humane work from a filmmaker of the Bulgarian new wave.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
